Keidric Smith To Launch Online Shopping Site

Keidric Smith is set to launch a new website on December 1st, offering locals the chance to ‘buy Bermuda’ from the comfort of their homes, with the new website set to allow shoppers to easily access multiple products from multiple local businesses all in one place.

Mr. Smith said, “We all have heard of the Buy Bermuda campaigns but how many of us actually do buy locally? I realized one night, that over the last few years, roughly 95% of all my purchases, [which includes clothing, and electronics] came from overseas.

“I then questioned why this was the case? Why would I go through the hassle of sending money, and links for multiple web pages to a friend in the U.S. to purchase and ship products to me instead of just going to town and looking at what the local stores have available?

“I came to the conclusion that there was two reasons for this, and interestingly enough it was not because of the price of the items that I was purchasing.

“The first was that I did not have the time to go to the store to find out what was available; the second was because I was able to shop when I wanted to shop, and not within a predefined time frame [e.g. 9am to 5pm]. With this I realized that many others may have a similar issue and thus Isle441.com was born.

“Isle441.com was created to allow local businesses to sell their products online and for shoppers to easily access multiple products from multiple local businesses all in one order.

“In addition to an online retail service, Isle441.com will offer an island wide delivery service to complement the retail site. I believe that this service would add value to both local shoppers and local businesses and help in the endeavour of more people to buy local.”

They currently have 13 retail vendors: The Salon Store, Sports Source, Off The Wall Hobbies, M&M, Sound Decisions, Home Worxx, Exclusive Home, Soccer Plus, Mystique Bermuda, Hott Buys, De Oil Shop, Chaureese and Accessories and Queens Fashions.
